BR Scottish Region

Pictures on former LMS and LNER lines in Scotland, including the East Coast Main Line north of Edinburgh. A few pictures to start with, more to be added as time permits.

I made some early visits to Scotland with the RCTS in 1957 and 1960, plus some family holidays, all before I had a camera. I saw some wonderful things and have very happy memories, so I have been lucky enough to fill in some of those gaps with original slides from other photographers, some of whom are sadly now deceased. I'm very grateful that they took the shots!

From the Geoff Plumb Collection of original slides. Gresley LNER V2 class 2-6-2 No. 60919 is working light engine southwards from Aberdeen, climbing to Nigg Bay on the East Coast. Quite why it was running light engine I have no idea... Friday 15th May 1964. Photo by Mike Burnett.
